breakfasts of the denizens of the convenience store

Early morning newspaper purchases lead me to witnessing some horrific breakfast purchases. Today was a leading contender. Super Big Gulp, 2 tall Monsters, 2 biscuits, bag of Swedish Fish and a pack of smokes. Ugh!

Couple weeks ago I stopped for gas at a convenience store about 1/2 mile from a county (rural) high school. Constant stream of students coming out with multiple cans of Mountain Dew, Monster, etc. The adults' fare of coffee and ginormous donuts was pretty healthy in comparison.

And we wonder why healthcare is so expensive.

Exactly. My wife has to constantly remind me to tone down my "I'm disgusted" face when we are grocery shopping. 300lb "lady" on a motorized scooter with an oxygen tank draping those stupid little 6 packs of Mt. Dew over the sides of her front basket.

I understand that it's an addiction but I'm still disgusted by it.

Ugh, I remember I worked at a store that sold lottery tickets. Its bad when you start to memorize people's numbers. Because they pick them every other day.

I have seen people spend 100-200 on scratch offs or instant tickets a day, 7 days a week.

Used to work in a convenience store aas well/ nothing more annoying than someone playing 100 dollars worht of numbers while customers are waiting in line to pay for gas etc.. It got to the point where we would drop the lottery player and make them wait rather than the customers

My workplace has a cafeteria, I'm always surprised at 8 am when I see people who will get bacon and eggs for breakfast, and then have a large piece of chocolate cake, too.

I am somewhat fascinated at times listening to people order lottery tickets. The ones who play individual numbers and play them multiple ways, boxed - reversed - upside down or whatever the terms are. It seems like a 5 min process and while I assume with all the numbers plus scratch offs it's going to be ~ $100 , it comes out to maybe $20.

It's got to be a little brutal entering all that.

Chocolate cake for breakfast is the best. No point in adding eggs and bacon.

I'd like to see someone do a "Super Size Me" type of experiment where they can only eat and drink items that are on or behind the counter at the gas station.
Slim Jim, 5 hour energy, snickers and a pack of camel lights a day. Chased down with some synthetic weed and a male enhancement supplement.

Whoa... hey hey hey.

I learned last week that we can no longer discuss people who are "not like us" on this forum. That kinda talk is off limits according to the LR's own PC police.

Better be careful...

Last time I saw this, they paid for it with government assistance funds, AKA- food stamps. I loved watching my tax dollars at work. (Except for the smokes- they laid down a 50 for that)

A few years ago there was a scientist of some stripe who did a twinkies diet. I think he ate a pack for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Measured the common markers of metabolic health before and after and guess what?

Most of them improved. Probably because he loss weight over the course of the diet.
